Solid write-up, thanks for putting this together. The comparison with traditional strategic reserves makes the idea much clearer, especially for people who are new to the concept. Still feels early and politically uncertain, but it’s interesting to see how seriously this is starting to be discussed.

THE 1st #BITCOIN AND CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL MARKUP WILL HAPPEN THIS WEEK REGULATION IS COMING 🚀  Source:https://x.com/i/status/2010437808289198164 Hopefully, after this plan, fraud will decrease a lot. And people will be more confident in Bitcoin. People from all walks of life will benefit from investing in Bitcoin. And large institutions will be able to invest without any hesitation. In the long run, stability and acceptability will increase. More regulation will not reduce fraud, because regulation only aims for more control and puts the crypto market under stricter supervision. It won't give you any protection, it's just an illusion, there's no protection for users, it's all just to protect the government's interests. And don't be mistaken, without regulation people can have more confidence in Bitcoin-- it's not regulation that makes people more confident in Bitcoin, but the value of Bitcoin itself. This regulation is just part of the government's plan to be able to monitor and take more advantage, it does not guarantee real security or other positive aspects as you mean.

you are absolutely right. regulation will only protect the interests of large corporate participants. ordinary users will face increased tax pressure, control over the movement of funds, introduction of all sorts of transaction reporting and so on. Bitcoin was created as a tool for independent financial management which means you have to take all the risks by yourself rather than relying on the government or corporations.

Also, this piece of regulation has been blocked. There was a bipartisan coalition on the text of the Bill, which will need more discussion before approval. The fact is, the regulation was not as crypto-friendly as expected. Coinbase CEO tweeted a harsh statement against a piece of regulation, and banks are also quite sceptical.

It's crazy how far Bitcoin has come. Just a few years ago, most of these countries saw Bitcoin as the next biggest scam; today, they're all proposing to have a Bitcoin reserve. Even Trump, who is the most pro-Bitcoin figure today, was very much against Bitcoin in 2019. It just shows how far Bitcoin has come.
I know bitcoin as an alternative currency was Satoshi's original idea but I don't know if he thought that alternative currency would be Federal Reserve one day. Bitcoin has a reserve in different states will mean more scarcity while the demand will increase and that will mean an increase in prices. This might make Bitcoin get to prices we haven't imagined.
It was a nice summary you made. Very easy to understand and concise.
I know that there are people who still don’t understand bitcoin but seeing someone who is very educated and smart thinking negative about bitcoin, I totally agree with that everything you wanted to know more about bitcoins strategies will definitely reserve and through bitcoins holding the people of the country will also be able to become financially, but the value of bitcoins itself this regulation is just part of governments plan to be able monitor and take more advantage, but if bitcoins success more people in there country will provably earn huge especially if then choose to hold.

This has been blocked but it doesn't mean they already abandoning it. Lawmakers that support this law still fixing those problems they are facing and negotiate those parties that need to settle. Many really thought that they are going to see another good law but lots concerned parties show some frustration since they are trying to pass a not crypto friendly law. Coinbase frustration towards that law is great sign that there's something wrong happening and good if they pay attention on the concern raised. So that they can pass a more better version which is fair to everyone.

It's not a massive amount, like what other companies are doing, but considering that this is their first act of making a purchase, it means that they have begun to commit to building their strategic Bitcoin reserves-- not just by going through all the Bitcoin sales on their store. This is a very smart move for Steak 'n Shake because not only are they gradually building up their strategic Bitcoin reserves, but at the same time they are benefiting from the adoption of Bitcoin in their stores with the company growing so well since they accepted Bitcoin.

Since they first announced to accept Bitcoin at their stores, this is the first time that Steak 'n Shake has made a Bitcoin purchase for their Bitcoin strategic reserve. It's not a massive amount, like what other companies are doing, but considering that this is their first act of making a purchase, it means that they have begun to commit to building their strategic Bitcoin reserves-- not just by going through all the Bitcoin sales on their store.
This is a very smart move for Steak 'n Shake because not only are they gradually building up their strategic Bitcoin reserves, but at the same time they are benefiting from the adoption of Bitcoin in their stores with the company growing so well since they accepted Bitcoin.
This is really a huge step forward for them because in May 2025, this American restaurant accepted Bitcoin payments and then I made a topic that Steak n Shake accepted Bitcoin strategic reserve, that was on October 31st and it is noteworthy that all their sales are automatically added to the reserve and it is seen that the sales of this company have increased dramatically. So looking at their progress, it is evident that in a very short period of time, just eight months, they have taken the most significant step in accepting Bitcoin and the company announced yesterday that this American burger company has added 10 million dollars to increase their strategic Bitcoin reserve and we can see that this company has created a self-sufficient system.

All this drama is just for Donald Trump's benefit. Donald Trump III does not buy Bitcoin himself but promises to keep the seized Bitcoin in strategic reserves, because he had given such hints before the election. But after the election, the complete opposite happened, so he has blocked the sale of the seized Bitcoin from this confiscated Samourai wallet and has promised to keep Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. I think this is completely dramatic. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/featured/us-gov-denies-sale-of-samourai-bitcoin
